CNA

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IOS notifications not working

Great app but push notifications don’t work. Please fix this.

Landscape

They don’t seem to understand that many of us prefer landscape and force you to use portrait mode.

No thanks, I’ll get my news elsewhere.

An iPad app without landscape mode, seriously?

I guess the developers don’t really use the app for news consumption.

Deleting the app so that I don’t get redirected to the app for CNA links. Huge pity cos the content is good.

Stuck in profile

The tablet version of this app, if you can even call it that, is basically a giant iPod touch version. It’s stuck in profile mode and even “wide” screen video is presented in profile mode. So if you enjoy really large and black cinematic bars on the top and bottom of your videos, this app is for you.

I guess what they say is true: once you go black, you can’t go back. In this app’s case, it’s for real.

No Landscape support for iPad.

One of my favourite news sources, but app is sadly lacking. No landscape support for iPad means insta delete.

This App Pauses all your other audio

You can’t listen to Spotify and read the news at the same time.

Strange new connected features simply annoying

The latest CNA app now features a green connection status which sporadically pops up indicating, yes you guessed it, when the app is connected. The feature often does this multiple times in a row. The most useless and annoying new feature. Pls fix this.

Great Content BUT …

Where is the landscape mode? More users will flock to this app if it is more usable since the content is already fantastic.

Can’t play music in the background

A lot of news app allow music to be played in the background while using them but not this one. A hindsight perhaps?
